A Procrastination with Consequences

Tirana, December 6, 2005

The Albanian Helsinki Committee, the Albanian Human Rights Group, and the Albanian Human Rights Center, join the concern of part of Tirana's citizens that they are encountering great difficulties in going through several streets, whose reconstruction has been blocked, such as the Zogu i Zi overpass, Rruga Elbasanit, etc., particularly in the current winter season. As a result, traffic is extremely heavy and could lead to dangerous consequences. It is pitiful that instead of finding a solution for the situation, the spokesman of the Ministry of Transport and the spokesman of Tirana Municipality organize press conferences that make public reciprocal accusations.
